Palestinians: Recognition of States

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what arrangements they have made to recognise the state of Palestine.

Answer

The UK will recognise a Palestinian state at a time when it best serves the objective of peace. Bilateral recognition in itself cannot end the occupation. Without a negotiated settlement the occupation and the problems that come with it will continue.
